Lot Essay

Dressers with a simple open plate-rack (i.e. no small cupboards) tend to be associated with the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales. Related dressers are illustrated in T. Alun Davies, The Welsh Dresser and Associated Cupboards, Wales, 1991, p. 30, fig. 20, and L. Twiston -Davies and H.J. Lloyd-Johnes, Welsh Furniture, Wales, 1950, figs. 93 and 94.
